CCA Robotics FRC5448 Worlds/2017

Jim Barstow  BIG RAPIDS, MI
We are FRC Robotics Team 5448 , from Crossroads Charter Academy in Big Rapids Michigan.  The Cosmic Chaos Automationeers were formed for the 2015 FRC Season.  

While we have been supported by very generous sponsors and state grants, we need additional help.  In the 2016 Season, our skilled team has tested their skill against the best teams in the state and emerged victorious.  At the end of the First in Michigan district season, we have have earned our 21st spot of 411 teams.

We are currently raising money to pay for our trip to the FRC World Championships in St. Louis on April 27-30 to represent CCA. Cougar Pride!

Your donations will be used to pay for the expenses for our world championships trip, expected to exceed $10,000.  Your donations help make sure our team remains competitive, safe, and ready to compete.

Don't wait!  With such a short amount of time between now and World Championships, our team needs to spend their time focusing on the competition, rather than worrying about finances.   

Your support means the world to us.  Our students have the opportunity to compete against the best teams in the world in an adventure that will accelerate their STEM career.

While we would love to include and acknowledge every single donor personally and individually, it simply is not possible.  Our season overview video will include the names of all sponsors that have made our exciting season possible.

If you are interested in a large donation/sponsorship in excess of $1,000, please contact us first so we can help make sure your donation has the most impact for our team.

Thanks!

We are overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from the community, both in cash donations and in-kind donations. We are close to reaching our entire goal for the trip to worlds. We will continue with some additional fundraising when we return as we still have some repayment to CCA for assisting us with our short timeframe. Thanks!

Our funding campaign is picking up steam, but we still need your help! Our robot is nestled away in his crate on his way to St. Louis, now we need to make sure our team gets there as well. Please keep sharing our campaign to make sure we reach our goal and have a successful trip to the FRC World Championships. There will be a live video feed of the event at http://www.firstchampionship/watch-live

We are qualified! After getting to the semi-finals at the state championships, we moved up to 21st place in the state and qualified for World Championships in St. Louis. We need your help to make our trip happen! Our registration fees are due in only a few days, and we are building a crate for our robot as we speak! We will be reaching out to local businesses to try and raise the $5k registration fee plus the additional we need to fund our trip. Thanks for everyone working hard to share and fund our trip!
